The only thing better than hearing a sweet new track that you love is being the first of your friends to hear it and being able to spread the joy by introducing them to it. I belong to a culture where it's all about being cool, and in the know, and when it comes to music that means having the newest, hottest beats before they go mainstream and get wrecked. Enter my newest obsession, SoundCloud, a website created in Sweden (obviously) that is dedicated to 'moving music'. SoundCloud provides a platform for artists and professionals to receive, send and distribute music, and this platform allows me to eat it all up. This site has the possibility to be a recording artists BFF, and if you are down for that check out the site tour, but I have zero to no interest in attacking the world with my vocals, so to my interest I scour the site to leach off everyone else's talent.
SoundCloud allows you to explore tracks, people, groups and forums, as well as providing some bad ass apps, if that is your scene. You can sift through tracks by newest or hottest, the site is especially good if you are into mashups, remixes, or the best electropop sweden has to offer ... the possibilities are endless.
If time is not your friend, and you are looking for some new music to fill your ears, but are also feeling picky, then head over to SoundCloud's equally awesome spawn, Tracks on a Map, where the world's music is at your finger tips. The site provides a map that is dotted out with hot pink SoundCloud bubbles, where you can pick a track by its exact geographical location, and even narrow it down by the genre you are looking for.
So, if you too are a music enthusiast like my self, head over to to SoundCloud and Tracks on a Map, I can almost guarantee you won't regret it.
